I know that people aren't being perceived as moving or doing anything unless you look away, but I'm confused on how some people didn't manage to just run off or escape when someone was trying carry them off. It seems like they're still able to move unless I missed something.

Basically, your perception of them only updates once you blink or look away. They can, and will, move but you don't see the movement so they seemingly teleport while you're not looking at them.

[@githon1541]

They might not be able to move if they're grabbed because touch is a type of observation.

[@drawnwithlove3499]

This SCP is actually really interesting and creative. It basically puts you in the perspective of a crow looking at a scarecrow but the other way around. Instead of seeing a humanlike figure that only moves when you aren't looking, it's instead an inaminate figure. Crows basically said "ok you know what? See what it's like in my shoes for once"

Don't forget that with the many different writers for the Foundation's entries, their levels of ruthlessness is bound to vary dramatically. Some will have them as fairly reasonable, while for others they practically stride the line between stupidity and insanity. I've personally learned to just chalk it up as: "If all entries are canon, and so is parallel universes - then the stories where the Foundation does incomprehensibly stupid things are in those universes where things are just far less fortunate for everyone."

[@some_shitposting_idiot3023]

Befriending anomalies is a big no no Unless it's an scp like 999 or 343 It's best no one bonds with the scps unless it's staff Otherwise you could end up with the scp trying to use the d class to escape There's a reason the teen cthulhu constantly has guard rotations it's existence alone makes people worship it and want to free it

I’m most curious of how the weight of the individual is perceived, by the observer, to be so much lighter than they actually are.

[@cd8048]

Tetanus is caused by Bacteria though! Great video, but I wonder if this error is in the scp wiki too, weird how smth simple can sometimes get through the cracks EDIT: 12:48 mentions it

[@Mo_Mauve]

They also said that SCP-2376-1 instances' movement can't be perceived while being looked at, but they can still move, & than in every part of the video other than early in the video, they didn't move while being looked at. They said that you have to intentionally close your eyes to see any movement & that you can't see their movement in videos, but if they could still move while being looked at & it just wouldn't be perceived, then automatic blinking would be enough to make their movement visable, & they could make their movement visable on videos by simply making every other frame a black screen. An easy fix would be to simply say that they can't move while being looked at. The part about having to close your eyes every 5 minutes & see if they type anything would still make sense because close your eyes is vague, so the amount of time is only limited by context, so in this case it could mean anything from 1 second to 30 seconds, & 30 seconds is probably enough time for a SCP-2376-1 instance type something.

[@Walker_96365]

1:45 this brings up a point I have been questioning for a while. Anomalies are anomalies because they defy our laws of physics in some way but what if our laws are just wrong? We used to believe that the Sun revolves around Earth but that was changed due to scientific advancement. That begs the question: If the laws of physics changed in the future, could that cause some anomalies to be re classified as normal?

[@Master_E444]

Anomalies that are understood due to breakthroughs in scientific studies and research are designated as Explained. There was a dice that was believed to cause D&D based hallucinations but really it was lined with standard hallucinogens. There was also a rock that emitted radiation in high quantities, later identified as a simple radioactive element. There are likely many more things that were considered anomalous until recent advancements in our understanding

[@arlenfreeman3439]

@@Master_E444 And part of the Foundation's mission is to find out how these anomalies do or do not violate science. If they can figure out how and why it works, they can quietly and gradually slip a few "discoveries" on the nature of the universe to the public without breaking the veil.

[@LordDoom10]

Interesting how the virus swapped out the scarecrows for mannequins.

[@PanthereaLeonis]

Obviously the scarecrow/mannequin part is based on factors in the environment, if an urban outbreak causes observers to see the patients as mannequins and a rural strain causes scarecrows. At least the patient care is the same for both.

Remember that it said it's a strain of Tetanus? So the symptoms of Tetanus such as muscle spasms, loss of mobility, fever and weakness is the reason why you can't move as mentioned in stage 1 at 8:14

[@justacanofapples8885]

@@NycmanTheNicestOfMen but its also stated that the effects can be alliviated meaning that a "healthy" victim that can move is basiclly like the one scp that breaks your neck when you blink (if they are murderous)

[@Dont14-r4k]

@@justacanofapples8885 maybe that is part of the anomaly, the moment you are touched by someone that isn't infected, you are rendered motionless. Also people blink all the time, therefore you can get an image of where the scarecrow may be at, grab it, and throw it out. Even if the person tries to escape, they wont since the person has them around there arms and as long as they do that, the scare crow will be in there hands. That is the part that is anomalous which is why one cannot explain it very well so it makes there are gigantic holes in the explanation, and why I'm struggling I explain what is happening.

[@techtipsordeath3020]

fun fact tetanus is actually found primarily in dirt. Rust has nouthing to do with it. Only reason rusty objects tend to have a higher rate of causing tetanus is that they usually are found on the ground on or mixed in dirt. The rust is just a side effect of being in wet dirt.

Proposal for new Mobile Task Force Sigma-20 "Rag Dolls": Comprised of instances of SCP-2376-1 who have made a recovery to full mobility and are no longer contagious. MTF Sigma-20 would be able to undertake a variety of missions virtually undetected. Given the inability of non-anomalous humans, most anomalous humans, and some humanoid entities (continued cross testing needed) to perceive movement from instances of SCP-2376-1, along with Foundation covert ops training, MTF Sigma-20 members would be highly effective in infiltration and covert combat. Individual members would mostly need to work solo due to them being unable to perceive one another, though various methods of communication and tactics have been proposed. Viability testing of the concept is currently awaiting O5 review.
